I did enjoy that one, Todd.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a lot of book for $2

not your mom's socks.
Friends, a favor: Say I'm actually taking the much-much-much-needed vacation. Rec me a book you think I'd like?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
So many choices!
I just finished re-reading The Book of Kells by R.A. MacAvoy
It is still one of my favorites. If I ever get to visit Ireland, I want to visit all the places mentioned in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, speaking of recs, I think my best shot at a prize in the library's summer reading bingo includes a science fiction book with a female protagonist. I haven't read much science fiction at all (other than Bujold), so would love a recommendation!

I haven't read that since high school. I should dig it out.

Weeeeeell, Fran Wilde does some remarkable worldbuilding in Updraft.
(SF isn't my main genre either, so that's all I can rec off the top of my head!)

Oh, Charlie Jane Anders - I've read her All the Birds in the Sky, which I think skews more Fantasy than SF, but her The City in the Middle of the Night looks good (I own, but haven't gotten to read yet).

Several of CJ Cherryh's books are SF with female leads: The whole Chanur series; Rimrunners; Cyteen; the Morgaine cycle is a little more fantasy, so that may not work.
